Sundance GTI6 owner

[cwspellowe]

Hi all, thought i'd introduce myself seen as my new project will see me abusing the place for information!

Name's Chris, been a member of pug306 and 306gti6 for a while under the same username.

I started life with a sigma phase 1 gti6 with AC and sunroof, one of the few 1996 registered cars with that spec. Over the last two years it's, erm, changed a bit. Basically, it looks like this now:



:twisted:

It's been through various exhausts, induction kits, suspension parts etc but as it stands I don't feel like I can go any further with it. It's due a belt change and i THINK the HG is showing signs of starting to go and insurance is a killer. Been driving 7 years but with only 2NCB as I had a gap of car ownership where I was a named driver on my housemate's car. As such £1k a year is disappearing from my bank and I cba with the running costs any more.

This leads me on to my new project, and the reason i'm here...

A bianca white XUD estate.

At the minute i'm negotiating the delivery of the shell to my house. It needs a pump, turbo, radiator, rear beam, front suspension.. just a few bits. But it has a leaf print half leather interior in good nick and the paintwork is pretty good, just needs a good detail and the odd part resprayed. All in a day's work for me.

I'm aiming for 150bhp on a BOSCH and T2/GT15. Obviously the likes of FMIC will be present. If I can reach near that i'll be happy although knowing me i'll do a darrenjlobb and start being silly with it. It's only an engine after all! 30psi on a T2 will probably do me, for now.

I'll be swapping the shiny bits from my car too:

Refurbished GTI6 rear beam with ZX shocks and disc brakes
40mm drop all round with B6/B8's up front
GTI6 ARB's
Rose jointed drop links (made by me, soon to be followed by rose jointed track rod ends)
GTI6 brakes (ABS removed, compensator replaced by manual bias valve)
Smoothed bonnet and grille
Black masks with 6000K HID's
Saxo spoiler modified to fit
Phase 3 trim
Light rear tint
Speedline 2110's in anthracite
Meyle HD wishbone bushes
Group N gear linkages
3" dished suede wheel
Oh and all the new consumables from the GTI6 - ball joints, bushes etc

Should handle nicely with that little lot transferred over. And make a nice base for a serious motor. Did I mention I make my own carbon parts too? 8-)

It also has no electrics or AC either, started life as a ph2 LX with a ph3 front end conversion. Nice bit of weight saving there, it's been on the weighbridge and barely weighs more than my GTI6!

Fingers crossed, will look something like this come the Summer...



Anyway, hi. I'll shut up now.
